STOVEPIPE-JOINT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,646, dated May 18,1897.

Application tiled January 16l 1896. Serial No. 575,748. (No model.)

To all wltmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEREMIAH M. HORN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Arba, in the county of Randolph and Sta-te of Indiana, haveinvented a new and useful Stovepipe-Joint, of which the following is aspeciication.

The invention relates to improvements in stovepipe-joints.

The object of the present invention is to improve the construction ofstovepipe-joints and to enable two sections of a stovepipe to be readilyconnected and adjusted on each other to avoid cutting and tting to makethe stovepipe of the desired length.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a portion of astovepipe constructedv in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is anelevation showing the opposite side thereof. Fig. 3 is a longitudinalsectional view. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view. Fig. 5 is adetail perspective view of the adjustable joint. l

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all thefigures of the drawings.

1 and 2 designate stovepipe-sections telescoped into each other to varythe length of the stovepipe to adjust the same to the desired length,and sections 1 and 2 are rigidly secured at the desired adjustment by aband 8, carried by one of the sections and engaging the other section.

The band may be of any desired diameter to suit that of the stovepipe towhich it is applied, and it is provided at one side with an extension orlug et, which is riveted or otherwise secured to the adjacent end of thestove! pipe-section 1. The lug extends outward beyond the end of thesection 1, and the band is also located beyond the same.

The terminals of the band, which are disposed diametrically opposite thelug and which are located adjacent to the seam of the stovepipe, arebent outward and perforated to form ears 5, and are connected by an ad-yj usting screw or bolt 6, which has its head engaging one of theterminals of the band and its nut engaging the other. The adjustableband may be constructed of any suitable inaterial, and the terminalsthereof may be supported by reinforcing-plates, if desired.

The adjustable band is supported adjacent to the ad j usting-screw by alink 7, secured at one end of the section 1 of the stovepipe, andprovided at its other end with an eye 8, arranged between the terminalsof the band and receiving the adjusting screw -or bolt. The link isprovided at its end which is secured to the stovepipe-section 1 with aneye for the reception of a rivet or other suitable fastening device. v

' It will be seen that the stovepipe-joint is exceedingly simple andinexpensive in construction, that it is capable of readily securing twosections of a stovepipe at any desired adjustment to avoid cutting tomake the stovepipe the desired length, and that it may be readilyapplied to all kinds and sizes of stovepipes and similar tubing.

Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction maybe resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing anyof the advantages of this invention.

What I claim is- The combination of two telescoping pipesections 1 and2, an adjustable band located beyond the section 1 and engaging thesection 2, a lug located intermediate of the ends of the band, extendingfrom the same and permanently secured to the pipe-section 1, a screw orbolt adjustably connecting the terminals of the band and located at apoint opposite said lug, and a link permanently secured at one end tothe pipe-section 1, extending beyond the same and provided with an eyelocated between the terminals of the band and detachably receiving thescrew or bolt, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aiiixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
